deck swimming pool light junction box

The problem is that I have looked and looked and looked and cannot find a junction box for the light anywhere. The pool equipment with the electrical connections is at least 100'away from the light but there are absolutely no signs of a junction box.

You may use deck mounted junction boxes for lights operating at low voltage if an approved potting compound fills the box to prevent moisture entry and if the box is located at least (≥) 4 feet from the pool or spa inside wall.

The Certikin PU10N Deck junction box is the connecting point for the cables between the swimming pool light and the transformer. The Deck Box has a double ring sealing system which makes it IP65 water tight!

Re: Water in pool light junction box?? The NEC contemplates that the conduit from the light niche to the junction box will have water in it. It is usually a bad idea to block the conduit with putty or anything else because it makes running the wire from the pool to the junction box very difficult if you have to relamp.

South Florida requires a deck box and that it be attached to the grounding grid for the entire pool, if covered with a screen enclosure attached to it also attached to the pool heater also the pool pimp all have to be on the same ground grid as well as the case of the underwater light transformer.

The junction boxes I've seen are generally in a direct line with the light fixture, off the side of the pool deck. As the light fixture conduit is normally filled with water, the junction is required to be higher than the maximum fill of the pool.

Older pools typically have what’s called an “In Deck Junction Box” or J-Box installed just above the fight fixture on the deck. Many time it directly under a diving board. This box is where the cord from the pool light connects to a 110VAC power source.

The bond has to be brass in many cities, see NEC under swimming pool, located in back of book. It must continue until it reaches the junction box. That box has to be at least 8 inches above the highest possible water level.

Locate the light junction box, remove cover and disconnect old light wires Pull the old light cord up and out of the J box, as you pull in the new cord Cut the new light cord 6-9 in. above the J box, leaving 3-4 feet of cord in the pool
